Alternative latex gloves are made with silicon. Due to people having allergic reactions to latex. Not as stretchy as latex and tend to be opaque as opposed to light tan type colour of natural latex. They tend to be thicker and not as strong.

If you have no other alternative and must have latex, ask your dentist for some Dental Dam.
